Its because whatever is coming in endwalker will most likely be linked to silvertear lake and what happened with the aether explosion that felled midgard
In 1.0, battle leve quests were LITERALLY the only quests to start, until you were leveled enough to do plot things.
Did anyone else get distracted by Zepla doing the Asmongold Eyebrow thing?
Not sure if anyone has mentioned in comments, the tavern keeper (the roe in orange) looks exactly like the tavern keeper in the Crystarium. Makes me wonder how many 1.0 references did I miss in that city.
"That is lore we'll explore, and hopefully it wont be …… a bore, and we will learn more. I cant wait to see, what's in store!" Bars
You should really look up the story of 1.0 all of that stuff is cannon and there’s stuff there
Can't wait for Endwaller to slap that sarcasm out of you.
I finally understand. The reason we nod throughout the game is because our spiritual past self had a neck so long he couldn't keep his head up.
If my WoL speaks, I'll just cry lol
Young master Matoya, Young Louisoix 😬😬😬😬
What the hell did I just watch
Silvertear Lake 100%.
5:37 was she channeling Asmongold there? lol
So funny part. At your video 0:58 (1.0 trailer's 0:30), that Leve NPC is Glynard from Crystarium in SHB. They kind of used his looks in SHB at the Adventurer's Guild.
I'm believe 1.0 and ARR trailer took place in Ardbert's world not ours.
It explained why his companions are all missing in HW to ShB trailer because HW is our journeys not his.
I mean we start our Journey to one of the main three cities alone.
oh please WOW eternity end has been hinted at since Warcraft 3 even though I don't remember that happened clearly ff14 just copy wow totally absolutely marvellous story writing there.
My question is what happened to the previous/different 'team' he had in the 'levequest' compared to the tavern?
gathering really is a real job, really.
I know you're memeing, and it's possible they just wanted to remind people how far they've come and this doesn't matter, but… There's a lot in this trailer that Endwalker could circle back to, and it fits with the theme about looking back at the beginning. The dragon is Midgardsormr. The lake the ship (Agrius) and Midgardsormr crash into is Silvertear Lake (Mor Dhona). That event is what caused Mor Dhona to be what it is now. It also unleashed the primals. It's likely the area is also what connects the shards, given the whole Crystal Tower/Crystarium proximity to it as well as to the First's similar lake called the Source (Lakeland). Midgardsormr's larger role has been hinted at piecemeal, especially during Heavensward.
And then there's the other point that the characters featured in the old trailers are analogs to the Warriors of Darkness. A lot of people were confused about the different spelling of Arbert versus Ardbert, but that's obviously purposeful. They aren't the exact same person, but reflections of each other. I think this is the same for Silvertear Lake and its counterpart–"The Source"–in Lakeland on the First. The shards are connected through such reflections… Warriors of Light and Darkness, Silvertear Lake and "The Source," etc. There's probably multiple reflections per shard even. But there's probably connections through the ethereal sea Midgardsormr knows about, and I'm going to guess he was guarding those connections. He knows more than he's let on so far. He is, afterall, who guided us when Hydaelyn went quiet. But the crystals he gave us were multi-colored. He's the key to all the reflections, IMO.
Wait are they the warriors of darkness?
They look the same?
Wdym? Battle levequests are the fastest way to level to 15 since ARR and still till now. Since they don't sync your party members, you can complete each one in less than a minute and get massive exp.
I am surprised, that no one noticed the skill combo from 4:50. The healer casts fire needles and an archer shoot a flaming arrow.
Omg, you were quick with the x files theme. That seriously got me lol
Right at the end as he's walking off he had a two handed sword. dark knight?
Growing up as a teen in the 90s I really appreciate the X-files theme.
bro chill
I love how so many people are now seeing the 1.0 trailer even after they beat shadow bringers and have yet to notice that the party in the vision with Derplander (who is Ardbart I would bet on) are people we have seen 2 diffrent times now once in HW and then in ShB…. they are the Warriors of Darkness.
at the end of the praeatoruim lahbrea spouts out before you fight him. Endwalkers plot. we didnt even notice till now.
After the maintenance is done they're actually releasing the 1.0 instead of Endwalker.
Derplander is about to start a leve quest in Bentbranch Meadows.
The fricken X-Files theme xDD Love you Zepla hahah
I had not watched this trailer in like a decade. I do find it interesting that Derplander had what looks to be a great sword in the trailer, when that was not an available weapon until Heavensward with the release of Dark Knight. I attribute that to the absence of continuity on the part of the original development team though.
There was no grand design for FFXIV at its release. There was no ten year plan. Just a broken game that broke a lot of hearts. But, it would be very like them for Yoshi P and the gang made this trailer relevant to the story they have built. We shall see, soon enough.
Wait… was he a Dark Knight? He was using a Claymore!! DRK in 1.0?!!
Idk… I think they turned the 1.0 trailer into the beginning days of the Warriors of Darkness’s Party at somewhere in the 1st, and an echo (vision) from mommy pointing him down the path leading to their fate. The place itself looks like what the Crystariums architecture was based off of. While the Crystal tower is pretty, it’s arrival and the creation of the surrounding town was AFTER the flood. So we’re going to def. be learning more of the prior culture from before the flood.
It's Ardbert and Team – The first adventures of his team before something happen (Avoiding posting spoilers as this will be revealed at some parts of Heavensward, the end of Stormblood and Shadowbringers). When you complete the job quests of each fighting class, they are linked to the story of his team and everything will be explained in detail.
Sooo is the Lala a black mage that buffed a party member and had a shield? I'm so confused….
they were so mean to the WoL he decided that day to never speak again! 🙁
Zepla becoming more and more like Asmon every video.
They uploaded it to put easily on a playlist. 1.0 trailer stuff isn't Canon anymore.
At that trailer he using the ECHO for the first time
That big dragon was Midgardsormr. He didn't die hundreds of years ago. He died like five minutes before the start of 1.0 taking down Gaius' flagship.
